Presidio at Clear Lake

I love these apartments the employees are very nice everyone from the leasing office to the maintenance workers they are always very helpful its a nice property over all the only thing I dislike is that the residents throw things next to the trash cans even though the trash cans are empty it’s not so hard for them to put it inside the trash can if its empty

Oh, where to start. How about a day in the life at the presidio. Breakfast with the roaches that range from the size of your pinky nail to the size of your middle finger. The large ones liked to come in through the windows and doors that weren’t sealed properly. You pay for them to spray weekly, they don’t ever do it though even if you complain.
Don’t forget to brush the fleas off of you as you walk around because the entire facility is infested. Try all you want, but they are there to stay. Ew.
When you walk out the front door you must fight the wall of Mosquitos that are on the opposite side of the door. There’s nothing you can do to stop them from getting into the house as you leave and you’re so engulfed in them you don’t see the cat shit that you’re about to step in before you make it down the stairs. Cats… Oh the cats are abundant and they shit anywhere and everywhere. It always smells like piss and shit. They’ll leave scratch marks on your car as well, I don’t suggest you live here if you have any attachment to your car. But I’ll get to that later.
Did it rain last night? If so, I hope you have some rubber boots on to make it to your car in. Maybe a chainsaw to cut through the tree that has been directly in the path since the storm two weeks ago… Anyway, the parking is horrid and their is assigned parking but that doesn’t mean your spot is guaranteed. If you do managed to get into your personal spot your car might not even be there In the morning anyway. Our car was towed out of our assigned spot and then we had to pay to get it back as well. Not to mention the chances of your car getting dented, scratched, broken into, a bowling ball through the rear window, or literally shit on (human shit) are pretty high.
Speaking of high… The majority of the tenants here are either dealing drugs or on them. I suggest you get a job that doesn’t require you coming home after dark, or any type of lifestyle that requires you to be outside after dark actually. I have personally witnessed what at first looked like a drug deal between a man and woman, then I realized that it was actually prostitution! They did their deed in the parking lot (I was at the top of my steps with my next door neighbor and over-​heard the details of their «deal») and then the woman came back and started banging on multiple neighbors doors advertising «blow jobs for $ 10 in the parking lot». A friend came over one night and between the parking lot and our apartment he was asked if he would like to purchase a prostitute.
People will bang on your door in the middle of the night asking, «are you that black guy?» You get the picture I’m sure, back to when you get home…
Your house is most likely at an uncomfortable temperature since the office controls it and doesn’t pay attention enough to adjust it accordingly. From about 2−8pm our apartment was at lowest 80 degrees. Not to mention the fact that it will completely break about once a month for 24+ hours while it’s in the upper 90’s outside. Calling the office won’t fix your problems ever, so sweating it out was our only option.
If we wanted to wash our dishes after dinner that night (with the endless bugs) we couldn’t use the dish washer in our unit because our garbage disposal drained into it and the smell was rancid ²⁴⁄₇. If we used the side of the sink with the disposal water would also leak from the dishwasher into our floor! Maintenance didn’t exist either, no matter how many times you called to report a problem. The water itself was horrid too; regularly an orangish-​brown, stains the bathtub/​shower that constantly leak, you may or may not have hot water at random, and occasionally gave me hives after showering.
There is mold. It’s like the roaches, you just can’t seem to get rid of if. There are also places where it is apparent that the mold has been painted over!!!
I went to the laundry room one evening (before dark) and was followed and approached by a man who got uncomfortably close while asking me what I was doing and where I was going. That was my last trip to the laundry rooms in our apartment.
So you’re finally in bed to get some sleep, after your house has cooled down some, but you can’t sleep until the cops have come and gone because of the fight downstairs where someone was stabbed. The fighting is regular and at all hours, day and night and it’s likely that neighbors sound like their throwing furniture all night.
When it comes to rent and additional fees they will vary month to month and you will not have reasoning behind the changes in costs.
I honestly could not imagine a worse place to live. We have fortunately moved out now and finally feel safe in the place we live. I suggest anyone that wishes to have any type of quality in life stay clear of here. If you’re into drugs, prostitutes, fearing for your life daily, violent crime, roaches, car shit, no a/​c, mold, no sleep, fleas, and wasting money, then this is your place. Welcome to hell.

These apartments are disgusting!!! I CAN“T WAIT to move!!! I’m stuck till November but already looking for another place. They are over run by bugs and they say they come spray once a week but it’s not true, and if you have pets and work they DO NOT come! The maintenance is the worse EVER, I called about a leak in my ceiling in Jan they «fixed» it in Feb, now it’s may and it’s back, called two days ago still nothing. One of my restrooms toilet stays clogged up and I ended up having to call my own plumber and pay because they would not fix it properly. There is mold popping up all over my apartment and you can tell it’s been there awhile and was just painted over. Every time it rains it floods and you have to walk through water to get to your car, the parking is the worse! not made for today’s larger cars and even though you have assigned parking, it doesn’t mean your spot will be available when you get home from a 15 hr shift and just want to go to bed, instead you have to search for a spot and pray they don’t tow you. The kids here just roam the apartments with no supervision and break things and just do whatever they want, I have kids of my own but never do they just go and mess with other tenants. When you call to speak to the office it always seems like your just bothering them and most the time they have an attitude, the manager will pretend to care but it’s the same thing over and over. someone mentions that lights are included in rent, but they don’t tell you that they control the A/​C & heater, you will have one room be cold and the other is scotching hot. When they are working on an empty apartment they leave their tools where ever they land, I found a propane torch outside my door where any kid could have gotten a hold of it and who knows what would have happened. I would not recommend this place to an enemy.

I was robbed at gunpoint here. I never even lived here. This shithole keeps changing it’s name thinking people will not find out its past. Mostly drug dealers live here. I remember a friend telling me in the past they had been held up here as well. This shithole houses some trashy lowlifes.

Pretty reasonable. We hve lights and garbage included in the rent. Depending on who your neighbor is will determine if you will hve bugs or not. For example our neighbors in our old one bedroom was filthy n we had to fight roaches. They do spray but only once a week n sometimes the company will lie saying they came to ur home but didnt. If you call front office b/​c u need the maintenance men FOLLOW UP the next day. Work orders disappear or may not even be put in.
